When you buy a house, you never really know some of the problems it has, until you move in. That was the case for a Pleasant Hill woman. KCCI's Cynthia Fodor shows us the horrendous surprise she discovered inside her dream home. Springtime in her new home. Barbara Pytel couldn't wait to open the windows. But the fresh air let in...humidity that brought out...a fowl odor. "5;23 MY DAUGHTER WALKED IN AND SAID CAT, THAT'S CAT." But Barbara hadn't seen any stains. The carpet looked fine on the surface.. "2;29 THIS WAS THE CARPET WE PULLED UP, SO BAD, SO SMELLY" but look at this... "2;41 AND THEN THE URINE STAINS ARE HIDEOUS..." this is what they found underneath. "6;50 IT WAS DISGUSTING." A professional cleaning company advised her to buy a black light "11;35 SEE IT RIGHT UNDER IT?" that causes cat urine to glow in the dark. "10;00 LIT UP, LIT UP LIKE FIREWORKS ON 4TH OF JULY. 12;35 THIS WHOLE AREA IS HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE." "11;58 THERE'S SOME ..." Her new home is like a giant litter box. "6;15 THE WHOLE HOUSE, STAIRS, CLOSETS .. 5;32 THERE ARE URINE STAINS UNDER THE BEDS." "13;30 WE HAD TO SCRUB THE WALLS FROM HERE ON DOWN..WHOLE HOUSE..URINE SPOTS SHOWED UP. " Pytel believes home sellers should be required to disclose pet damage,,. "15;11 I THINK IT SHOULD BE A LAW. ON THE DISCLOSURE SHEET, IT SHOULD ASK DO YOU HAVE PETS? YES OR NO ..." But now the owner, she can only scrub, repaint, and recarpet ... to try to recreate the dream home she thought.. she bought. "19;15 I KNOW WHEN I GET EVERYTHING FIXED, IT'LL BE BEAUTIFUL" Pytel says it's going to cost 8-10 thousand dollars to re-do the home and re-carpet nearly 2 thousand square feet. She wants buyers to beware..and take in a black light before closing on a light before closing on a house. Stacey. house. Stacey.
